Half-Term Sport Sessions Across The Cotswolds
Get the children feeling fit and active during the October half term with Cotswold-wide sport sessions, thanks to The Sports Club.
Daily doses of sport sessions are being hosted at five venues across the Cotswolds by a dedicated team of coaches, who offer a wide range of sports and activities for children from 5-16 years old.
The scheme, set up by Cotswold District Council in 2005, offers children a safe yet fun and friendly environment where they can take part in football, cricket, golf, rugby, boxing and tennis.
The courses are held at a range of locations around the District, including Chipping Campden, Kingshill School in Cirencester, Bourton-on-the-Water, Chedworth Village Hall and the Coln House School in Fairford. All sessions run from 9.30am to 3pm.
Scott Burry, Cotswold District Council�s Youth Sport Development Officer said: �This fitness scheme will continue to provide a safe, fun and positive experience of sport during the school holiday for anyone who wants to take part. �I was very pleased with the success of The Sports Club this summer and am sure it will continue during the shorter half-term holidays.�
The Sports Club team are all qualified at various levels of sport coaching, and have First Aid and Child Protection training. A daily fee of �10 applies per session, or �5 if you sign up for club membership, which costs �20.
Events held by The Sports Club this summer saw almost 2,000 children take part at 18 different venues across the Cotswolds across a total of 28 coaching days.
